Get ready for a blood-soaked monster showdown as 'How To Kill Monsters' prepares for its release next month. This throwback horror-comedy promises a wild ride filled with practical effects, buckets of gore, and a menagerie of nightmarish creatures that will delight fans of classic monster movies.
The film centres on Jamie Lancaster, played by Lyndsey Craine, who previously starred in 'Book of Monsters', the cult hit from the same creative team. Jamie is the sole survivor of a massacre at a remote cabin in the woods. Claiming that her friends were slaughtered by a horrific monster, Jamie finds herself arrested by the local police and held as the prime suspect in the grisly crime.
However, Jamie's pleas of innocence are soon vindicated when monstrous horrors descend upon the police station, hungry for flesh. To survive the night, Jamie teams up with a rag-tag group of rookie cops and lawbreakers in a desperate fight against the invading creatures.

'How To Kill Monsters' is directed by Stewart Sparke, who co-wrote the film with Paul Butler. The duo previously collaborated on the well-received 'Book of Monsters'. Their latest effort builds on their knack for combining campy humour, Lovecraftian horror, and practical creature effects.
The film also features a talented ensemble cast, including Arron Dennis ('Zomblogalypse', 'Book of Monsters'), Fenfen Huang ('Now You See Me 2', 'Operation Red Sea'), Daniel Thrace ('The Creature Below', 'Blood Myth'), and Nicholas Vince ('Hellraiser', 'Nightbreed').
"A joyously retro and over-the-top monster movie, making it an instant cult classic," praised Dead Central. 'How To Kill Monsters' leans into its low-budget charm, delivering a visual feast of practical effects, outrageous monsters, and a healthy dose of fake blood and guts. The movie offers a nostalgic nod to classics like 'Dead Alive' and 'Assault On Precinct 13', while carving out its own identity with a monstrous twist.
Director Stewart Sparke's 95-minute monster-filled extravaganza is a non-stop ride that never lets up. From the opening scene to the climactic finale, the film is a celebration of gory fun that's sure to leave horror fans grinning.
Premiering at film festivals throughout 2023, 'How To Kill Monsters' has been generally well-received, earning praise for its entertaining mix of thrills, kills, and laughs. For fans of retro monster movies, this film scratches the itch for a popcorn horror experience that doesn't take itself too seriously.
